Google ‘newspaper’ in their search News section for story after story of the death of this mode of communication. And, Rupert Murdoch is going to start charging to read the online version of another of his newspapers just like he promised. That should work, right?

I’d support a “micro payment” for each news item approved for payment and clicked on. Only a few cents.
Just like DvD’s==I don’t want the crapfest, just the one good tune.
That said, I’ve never read newspapers==just magazines. It is rare indeed that NEWSPAPERS actually go in depth. For a truly analytic piece, you need a magazine. Later, a book.
I do believe newspapers provide a necessary safeguard against the excesses of government. Once again, we have MISALIGNED mechanisms.
Newspapers to reveal the corruption, magazines and books to best understand what really happened.
Yes. I payed for the NY Times before and I’ll do it again. Best reporting, period.
I pay for wsj.com access…
We take our local paper seven days a week. Reading the paper is part of how I wake up in the morning. Even though it was bought by Gannett a few years ago, it is still engaged in the community and the state. (And no, there is not a single clock blinking 12:00 in the place.) It’s a single source for lots of the local news I’m interested in (I’d hate to have to find 132 reliable websites to source all the different areas I follow), and they have a couple of good local columnists that give deep insight into the soul of the community. And as madtruckman and Don Quixote pointed out, the coupons really do come in handy.
I occasionally peruse the paper’s website, but like most commercial media sites, it’s extremely overcrowded, clunky, chaotic and hard to use, but not as bad as any TV station’s site. (The TV networks sites are the worst. CBS.com used to crash my browser every time I tried to access it. Still does about once in four visits.)
If the local paper version went away, I’d probably pay a subscription if I could get most of the same stuff online. Possibly even the same amount we pay now.
So, yes and yes.
Why is this poll Back or White? What about the gray “Maybe”? I might pay for content if it was worth something to me. Polls shouldn’t have only two options. Most polls include an “Other”.
